Used 2019 Subaru WRX STI for Sale nearNew York, NY

How much does the 2019 Subaru WRX STI cost?

Prices have softened 6.09% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 328 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Subaru WRX STI a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the overview describes it as a focused performance sedan that still works as a daily driver. It blends serious speed with everyday usefulness, standard all-wheel drive, and a practical layout, while also emphasizing its rally-inspired character and road-going performance focus. For you, that means it makes the most sense if you want an enthusiast car that still has real-world utility. The market also shows 29.6% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Subaru WRX STI reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview also suggests that the car’s appeal comes from a proven, purpose-built formula rather than novelty, with standard all-wheel drive and a manual transmission reinforcing its durable enthusiast identity. For used buyers, the bigger long-term ownership risk is less about the concept and more about finding an example that has not been heavily modified, abused, or worn down by hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Subaru WRX STI?

At 66.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a full vehicle history report so you can screen for accidents, title issues, and signs of heavy modification. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on wear from hard driving, since the overview notes that many examples have been heavily used or abused. Pay close attention to overall condition, because clean examples are becoming harder to find and the car’s performance hardware can hide expensive neglect.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Subaru WRX STI?

This looks like a moderate market where selective buyers can still find value if they shop carefully.

• Deal availability: 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

If you find a listing below $25,533, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Subaru WRX STI's resale value?

The current average of $26,427 sits slightly below last year's $28,141.

That decline suggests the market has eased, which can help you buy more carefully now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to sell soon. Even so, the WRX STI’s performance-focused identity and practical all-wheel-drive appeal can help keep demand steady among enthusiast buyers. If you maintain the car well and avoid heavily modified examples, you should be in a better position when it comes time to resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2019 Subaru WRX STI or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 66.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.09% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $30,723, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $26,427 average.
• It keeps the rally-inspired formula but adds outdated technology.

The bottom line: You should start with the 2019 if you want the better value and are willing to inspect carefully for condition and history. If you want the newer model year and do not mind paying more, the 2020 is the secondary path, but price-sensitive buyers will usually find the 2019 easier to justify.
